Let’s journey back to the fizzy world of 1970s soda culture
and reminisce about Tab, the forgotten gem of soda pop
aficionados. Introduced by The Coca-Cola Company in
1963, Tab became a staple of the ’70s beverage scene,
offering a low-calorie alternative to traditional sodas.

Despite its initial popularity, Tab eventually fizzled out in
the late ’70s and early ’80s as other diet sodas like Diet
Coke took center stage. However, for those who remember
the tangy taste and iconic pink cans of Tab, it remains a
fond memory of a bygone era in soda history.

SAMARRA, Iraq (AP) — On this day in 2006, Sunni extremists blew up a revered Shiite shrine, igniting the worst sectarian violence Iraq had ever seen.

Walt Disney’s Magazine (formerly as Walt Disney’s Mickey Mouse
Club Magazine) was a magazine that was launched in late 1955 
and produced by Disney Studio staff members and published by
Western Printing in New York.

Originally designed to promote The Mickey Mouse Club, the focus
shifted to Disney productions in general by the middle of the
second volume, when the name was changed. The first volume
was issued quarterly, the remaining three volumes bimonthly.

In 1962, Disney bought out Western Printing’s interest in all of its
Disney related items, including this magazine, which had ceased publishing several years earlier.

The Washington Monument was built in honor of Americas
revolutionary hero and first president George Washington
and was dedicated in Washington, D.C. on February 21,
1885.

The 555-foot-high marble obelisk was first proposed in
1783, and Pierre L’Enfant left room for it in his designs
for the new U.S. capital.
 

After George Washington’s death in 1799, plans for a
memorial for the “father of the country” were discussed,
but none were adopted until 1832, the centennial
of Washington’s birth.
